Hope to god not mate, but to be honest im really not even that bothered as someone said it's only a stop gap manager to fill the void until we get rid of the owners.

I think that a lot of people under estimate the pulling power of the football club. No matter how far up the creek this club is we will always attract good people, the best, to Liverpool FC. Theres been a lot of talk about faith and loyalty to a Spanish football manager, absolute obsession with the fella, and yet there appears little faith in the football club itself. I dont care two sh@ts who owns the club, we will not have a problem attracting a manager of the highest order and good players will want to come and play for him and this football club. I think we need a bit more of the Rafa love in transferred to the football club itself. One way or another the club will be sold and we will move on and this hysteria is absolutely ridiculous and we need to stop the drama for a while. We have a legend like Dalglish involved behind the scenes with an ambassodor role and he will ensure the right man is brought in and we have to trust a guy like dagger to point us in the right direction, the guys more Liverpool than Benitez will ever be to be quite frank. With lads like him involved we will be alright so I think we could use a breather and let these people at least try and put the foundations of a good manager and team on the park alongside protest against the way the club is being run overall.

Mate, I'm worried now, I don't know which manager is up for the task right now. I'll tell you what NO manager in the world (even Mourinho) would deliver the goods for us in this type of scenario. The only time we will ever get back on track is when we have stability, new owners and a new stadium.

It will be difficult mate, We are a big club yes, managing a club like Liverpool is a fantastic potential and a dream for any top manager. However, given our club state, I don't know if we will attract any top ones, because we are in so much shyte right now.

Not trying to have a dig at you personally mate but if you think we will get in a top manager with the current set up your in la la land. In the modern game you need money to compete and that's something we have little off at the moment. Not only that but our star players have been asking for better players to come in and that is unlikely to happen so there is a good chance they will leave.

If this was 20 years ago fair enough but right now there are bigger problems than this right now. I know the managers vacant position is important but it just goes to show how much trouble we are in that a lot are not even bothered given what else is going on at the club.

Without financial stability there is no guarantee of a future where we can compete for honours. How do you expect to attract top players let alone a top manager without it?

You guys may be right, and maybe I am stuck in the past, old school. If my faith is misplaced then I hold my hands up and we truly are in the shyte. I guess the next few weeks and months will paint the picture and lay our path for the future but for all our sakes I hope we still have at least some of the old magic left to hang in there and rise up again.

Can't blame you mate, faith is all we have left. We just have to grit our teeth and take it as it comes. If we have to rebuild from scratch then so be it but I just want those 2 out. They are not going to stick around for much longer the way things are going as the club is losing more and more money so it's only a matter of time. To be fair (and it pains me to say it) it probably helps quicken the sale if the likes of Stevie and Torres leave as it will make it even harder for them to sell the club without it's star players, adored all over the world. If anything it could maybe force them to drop the price? Dunno just a guess that last bit.

Lets be real fellas, more than likely we won't be getting a top drawer manager so with that already practically a given.. What managers do you feel would be a good fit?

I tipped Hodgson at the start of the season, so I`ll stay there atleast untill we get new owners.
I`d like a british manager and you would be hard pushed to find a more experienced one. He`s had success managing all over the word, domestic as well as international, speaks something like 5 or 6 languages and is an all round good guy respected the world over.
I think he deserves a shot at a big club and he would come in and get on with it rather than another 5 year plan and complete rebuild that we cant afford. The last thing we need is another manager without prem experience who will need time to find his feat.
So it`s hodgson or o`neal for me.

Hodgson = compromise = no transfer kitty = no progress = going backwards = bye bye CL = no CL money = downward spiral.

The next appointment is critical to the club!

[Rush Job]

Or on the other hand maybe its decided to give us the truth for once
anyway not @rsed any more either way ...we our currently the biggest joke in World Football 
especially the false hope of the fans who believe any Top Class   manager is going to leave their comfortable existence and walk into the strife we are offering  couple that with no transfer funds and dealing with that underhanded tw@t  Gandalf
WAKE UP PEOPLE AND GET FU*KING ANGRY ...... No amount of internet discussions are going to rid us of this blight   

Anyone not angry with the owners is not a liverpool fan, so what would you have us do?

H&G = compromise = no transfer kitty = no progress = going backwards = bye bye CL = no CL money = downward spiral.

We need someone who can come in and get what we have playing untill we get new owners, anyone needing time to adapt is no use.

[Rush Job]

While we search for a new manager rafa walks into a job with the italian league and cl winners...... hmmm

[shabelle50]

Hodgson is a stable character but he wouldn't deliver the title and he's not of the calibre required would United or Chelski appoint Hodgson?

[Maickito]

Our spirit is deflated at the moment. The fans are divided over Rafa going. Nobody likes the owner.
It looks like we have no money to spend. However we are still Liverpool - and yes we might not be able to get someone like Van Gaal because he would be leaving a well run club and starting with an unstable one however I do feel we still have the pulling power to get someone like Lippi or Hitzfeld .... to even have roy hod being linked to us is a joke . But it does run with Sky and the media's agenda to batter us in every possible way. The list of candidates drawn up by the bookmakers and media will look alot different to those drawn up by kenny daglish and christian purslow .  Because both of these men really do know whats going out at the club and more importantly they realise the greatness of liverpool- I suppose I think we all need to calm down and trust daglish to find us the right man - no stop gaps.

My choice would be Hitzfeld. Approach him now- The Swiss wont go far - he is a winner at club level .
I've always liked how he  and his teams carry themselves. Finally I think he might bring in some Northern European boys with flair and steel ; the Germans and Dutch of this world. Call me optimistic but I've no doubt we will be back up there next year- granted why might not win the league although utd and arsenal are arguably the weakest they;ve been for many years- but I think FA Cup and Europa league are attainable.


Time to think positively- new slate for everyone at the club
